Composing my salad of mixed greens, kalamata olives, croutons, and roasted red peppers, I grabbed the bottle and took a dab with my finger. Hmm. My recent knowledge of Green Goddess Dressing was not what this tasted like--then I realized this isn't Green Goddess Dressing, but just plain 'ole Goddess Dressing. It has tahini in it, which takes it to a whole new place on the taste bud scale. Green Goddess dressing is a mix of avocado, herbs, lemon juice, and other things. This dressing has none of that in it. Totally different in taste and appearance.
My taste buds loved it. I have had 4 salads now, each with this dressing and no cheese. Historic because I pretty much always put some kind of cheese on my salad. But with this dressing, the richness requires no cheese, thank you. And--the taste is so huge, you really don't need much to dress your salad. That tahini taste goes a long way.
I'm going to be near Trader Joe's again in a few weeks, and I've already told Bud we need to stop. I will be buying bottles of this dressing to help me make it through the summer. It is that good. And, it is also an excellent dipper for pretzels--and probably anything else you'd dip in a dip. Yum.
What's your latest food discovery/addiction/can't live without? Besides salted caramel frosting, this dressing, and umm...a rediscovery for Bananas Foster, I am hoping I'll suddenly crave raw veggies and water all the time, 24/7. My thighs and belly certainly need them. It will be easy as heck to eat more salads with this yummy dressing in my kitchen. Thank you, Trader Joe's!
I'll be near a Trader Joe's this week. I will try to remember to check it out. I love salads and like to change up my dressing sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love this multi-grain cracker that I found at Costco. Really good and you can eat 15 per serving.
The goddess dressing is pretty tasty with pretzels! But seriously--try it out. I'm always game for a new salad dressing.
DeleteWe don't have a Trader Joe's in our area, but there have been rumors that one is coming to Albany which is just an hour away and if/when that happens, I'll have to give it a try. (Holy runon sentence, Mary.)
ReplyDeleteAnywhooo... there's a dressing called Goddess by a company called Annies that I get in the Natural Foods section of my grocery store and it sounds similar. I'm a big fan of their Green Goddess too. It's not heavy like some that I've tried and doesn't have that yucky "processed" after taste.
:~) Mary
This Trader Joe's is about 1.5 hrs away. I only get there every 4 months or so. Last time I was there the herds had been through and there wasn't much left!
